Winter Haven, FL-- Students at All Saints' Academy will present a donation of over $1,900 to the “K-9s for Cops” charity program tomorrow morning.

Students generated the funds through the school’s “dress out day”- a day which allows students to make a donation to wear regular clothes instead of their school uniforms, which in turn allows for a contribution to a local charity. The students selected the “K-9s for Cops” initiative as part of their regular charity fundraising initiative.

Polk County, Florida-- The Polk County Board of County Commissioners is gearing up for their annual Thanksgiving Food Drive.

The annual drive has donated more than 51 tons of food to families in need over the past 19 years, or at least that is the best estimate provided by this year's food drive coordinator, Mike Bingham of Polk County Social Services.

Food drive collection boxes will be placed in the Social Services department around the end of October, and will remain there until pick up on November 15.
